And now, after the lapse Of several

''Christ for Woman and Woman "a
Christ"

| Christ for Woman and Woman for
Christ"
Was the theme of an able and inter
esting sermon preached Sunday by
the Rev. Geo. ID. GOtwald In ST.
Johns English Lutheran Church Of
this city. The services of the morn
ing looked forward to those Of the
evening, under the auspices of the
"WOman's Home and Foreign Mis-
siOnary Society,"" and were prepara-
tory to them. The young divine
took for his text. Mattew 8:l5: "And
He touched her hand, and the fever
left her; and she arose and minister
ed unto them"
After recOunting the healing Of
Peters wife's mother and the CRATE
ful acknowledgement OF the ser ices
done her, the preacher laid down the
broad principle that what Peters
mOther-in-law did might fittingly be
done by every woman. For PETERS
Tife's mother before Christ touched
aud healed her,-slek, fain-, pros
trate, helpless, Is picture Of wO-
manhood, morally, mentally and
socially, In all ages the world over
before Christ aud His Gospel came
10 her to exercise upon her their up
lifting and restoring divine power"
Then depicting i'm strong language
the debased condition Of woman In
all lands where Christ IL not known,
the speaker next briefly referred To
the remarkable fact that"the Protest
ant church has, untilrecently, almost
entirely failed 10 recognize aud util-
ize the gifts aud graces Of Christian
wOmanhOOd in the prosecution Of
the work OF Christ i'm the world"
Rome, In this respect, has been
vaItly wiser, aid has steadily open
ed up for her women fields Of Chris
tian activity OF bOundless extent and
great variety" But the strange
prejudice IN the Protestant Church,
which, FOR 30 long stood In the way
OF her best interests, has finally
yielded 10 a growing Intelligence and
to-day the "WOman's Home and
Foreign MlssiOary Society" Is doing
more to quicken missionary spirit
and enlarge missionary activity than
any other single agency that the |
church IN these last days has adopt !
ed" After giving statlstios, setting |
forth the work Of the general assOei. |
alton, the speaker, In words Of de-
served praise referred 10 the sDcIety |
Of his own church. among the
besfsOeieties Of our Lutheran church,
I freely place the one under whose
auspices we shall meet this evening. !
Since last October, over One-hundred /
dollars have been given by its men,
bers and scattered over our home
aRd foreign fields. The record from
The very start, five years ago, has
been one Of success and increasing
interest. It has q grand record
3 record Of which its good members
may well be pFOud-and encouraged
by the success Of the past, they have
reason 20 press on in the blessed
work, and with new diligence labor
IN the cause Of missions for the
Masters glory"

DEMOCRATIC vAGARIEs AND IN
CONsIsTENCIEs

A0aaNA AaaaAAAaaa
The platform Of the Pennsylvania
Democratic convention, adopted
August 81, IL remarkable for It's alb
senee Of a tariff plank. Il is not 20
remarkable after all when we take
into account that the Democratic
party In different sections Of the
country Il az variance with itself. In
Pennsylvania a conflict Of views ex-
lists. even among the faithful, but In
the great manufacturing state q
free trade platform would be double
death 10 the Democratic party, and
il would never do 30 PrOmulgate q
principle ON so important an issue
which il antagonistic to the party Of
the nation. Hence, the course Of
the party there, in respect 10
the vital question Is not to be won
dered at.
The most notable feature Of the
Democratic convention Of Iowa,
held Sept 1, Is this declaration: /:
I'VE favor the retention OF the in
ternal revenue tax OB intoxicating
liquors and tobacco, and protest
against its proposed reduction for
the continuance Of the present high
tariff on the the necessarles Of life. {"
Nothing L. TO be wondered at COM
ing from q Democratic source, espe-
cially if IL be on tariff revision
While that party is committed TO
free trade, exclusive Of an element
which II pOwerless to act or be heard,
each section has its own peculiar
ideas aud eonstrues its meaning ~
may happen 10 suit its convenience
or interests.
We go from Iowa TO the National
Capital, and presto, change we have
something else. The Democratic
leaders have agreed Ia recommend to
the fiftieth congress the abolition Of
the tax on tobacco aud q large re-
duction in the tariff on wool, cotton,
iron aud steel.
A few days ago the wool prOduc-
ers and Manufacturers assembled at
Columbus, Ohio, and resolved that
a. the traffic had been prOstrated by
the reduction Of the wool tariff they
asked a relief from congress by
restoration Of former rates. In the
west and here i'm Kansas we know
that sheep raising has come to be an
Improbable industry and that men
who started in that line n few years
ago with buOyant hopes have dis
continued that business, expressing
their disappointment at its unfavOr-
able turn.
The idea that the leaders propose
= reduction on tobacco, cotton, wool,
iron and steel Is monstrOus. II any
reductions are 60 be made they
should not Ice based on the neces-
saries Of life.
II simply absured for the Demo-
craey tO pose as the friend of the
Workingman ia view Of some Of it,
acts, or the friend Of any person ex-
crpt its own selfish interests.

The child sat down to read the

A DEMOCRATIC exchange speaks Of
"the very foolish action Of the @. A.
r. and Sons Of Veterans IN refusing
to march under the arch which held
the portrait Of the President and the
inscription OF God bless our Presi-
dent, eOmmander-ln-ehief Of our
army and navy constructed at
Wheeling, Va, at the time Of the @.
A. r. q few days ago. Suppose
democrats should act In that way
under the portrait Of a Republican
President such a howl would 90 up
from Republicans as was never heard
before" The old soldiers reeOlleet
that President Cleveland has vetoed
more pension bills In two years than
all the Presidents have all classes Of
measures in the hundred years Of the
Republic. They remember that he,
q lawyer. in direct violation Of
law, issued his order 10 return the
rebel flags 10 those from whom they
were captured in battle. They fail
to regard him as their friend or as a
jealous advocate Of the cause they
represent. Happily for them, this
free Republic where every citizen
may do about as he pleases in the
matter OF respecting" the Presi-
dent so long IS he don't violate any
law. In this country, q person is
apt TO be taken at his own word and
he must behave himself IL he wants
the love Of the boys.
